Celebrating 40 Years of The Prairie Gold Rush Magazine!

Forty years is quite an achievement for a small publication that started with a few men with similar interests. Many of the people who were instrumental in helping to get this venture started were farmers by trade and/or anyone who was interested in Minneapolis-Moline or Twin City tractors and equipment. Roger Baumgartner, the first editor of the magazine, was the “traveling guy” who made contact with anyone who would listen! He found quite a following for his future interest of a newsletter, and as they say, “the rest is history”!
